oin us for a trip to Trail Lake, a wonderful sub-alpine lake along the MT/ID Stateline that you just may not know about. Located just north of the Great Burn Recommended Wilderness, Trail Lake is in the Meadow Creek Upper North Fork Inventoried Roadless Area. On this trip, we have the grand opportunity of working with the USFS Superior Trail Crew to help reclaim the lost trail heading from the lake up to the Stateline. This is an exciting and unique project, so don’t miss out!
